During hydrophobic interaction, the non-polar molecules come together, releasing some of the ordered water molecules in the clathrate structure and thus increasing entropy.

This is a thermodynamically favourable process (dG < 0), even though it is endothermic (dH > 0) because more hydrogen bonds are broken than are made.
